His parents were peasants of the poorest class, but eager for the moral and intellectual advancement of their children, they lost no opportunity for supplying them with the rudiments of education. Robert, in the intervals of driving the plow and other farm work soon acquired a good knowledge of English, chiefly through reading the Bible, Mason's "Collection of Prose and Verse", the "Life of Hannibal" and the history of Sir William Wallace. Later in life he attempted to learn French and Latin without much success. He and his brother Gilbert were employed by their father as regular labourers, at F7 per annum, until Robert's 19th year, when he went to school at Kirkoswald to learn surveying. During this time he wrote and had printed some of the poems in which he manifested that deep fountain of pathos and humor that was soon to make him famous throughout Great Britain. The poetry of Burns appeals to the human heart. It is so full of passion, so instinct with melody, so true to nature, so artless in grace, that every one must be touched either by its pathos, its beauty or its mirth.</p> <h2><span class="mw-headline">HIGHLAND LADDIE.</span></h2> <p>I.</p> <p>The boniest lad that e'er I saw - Bonie laddie, Highland laddie!
